The 36 is the NCT competitor to the tram to Beeston and Chilwell. It therefore received buses from the last batch of Enviro 400s, but will get Bio-Gas Enviro 400 Citys next year, leading to a cascade of these to other routes.

I still struggle mentally with buses facing this way here; born in the late 60s, I grew up in a Nottingham after the central traffic scheme of the early 1970s, and buses came south along here using stops on Long Row West.
